THINGS YOU MAY ASK

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Most people notice a change within the first few sessions, often even after one. This can look like improved sleep, a greater sense of calm, or more space between stimulus and response. Deeper patterns take longer. This work builds over time through consistent shifts in how your system processes stress and emotion.

  • Somatic psychotherapy combines traditional therapy with body-based awareness.

    Instead of only intellectualizing or analyzing your experiences, we track how they show up physically and work with them directly. This allows stored stress and emotional patterns to move, rather than repeat.

  • Sessions are collaborative and adaptive to the individual. We will talk, but we’ll also work with breath, sensation, and awareness to regulate your system in real time. Over time, this builds your capacity to stay present with more of your life.

  • Breathwork uses specific breathing patterns to directly influence the nervous system. By changing your breath, you shift levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, which impacts heart rate, stress response, and emotional regulation. This can move you out of fight-or-flight and into a more regulated state. It often creates change more quickly than talk-based approaches by working with the body’s physiology, not just cognition.


  • Most people start weekly or biweekly.
    There’s no fixed commitment. We adjust based on what you’re working through and what your system can integrate.
